Jennifer L. Armentrout comes a new story in her Wicked series…
She’s everything he wants….
Cold. Heartless. Deadly. Whispers of his name alone bring fear to fae and mortals alike. The Prince. There is nothing in the mortal world more dangerous than him. Haunted by a past he couldn’t control, all Caden desires is revenge against those who’d wronged him, trapping him in never-ending nightmare. And there is one person he knows can help him.
She’s everything he can’t have…
Raised within the Order, Brighton Jussier knows just how dangerous the Prince is, reformed or not. She’d seen firsthand what atrocities he could be capable of. The last thing she wants to do is help him, but he leaves her little choice. Forced to work alongside him, she begins to see the man under the bitter ice. Yearning for him feels like the definition of insanity, but there’s no denying the heat in his touch and the wicked promise is his stare.
She’s everything he’ll take….
But there’s someone out there who wants to return the Prince to his former self. A walking, breathing nightmare that is hell bent on destroying the world and everyone close to him. The last thing either of them needs is a distraction, but with the attraction growing between them each now, the one thing he wants more than anything may be the one thing that will be his undoing.
She’s everything he’d die for….

Excerpt
I needed to stop this. Right now.
My eyes drifted shut as his hand made its way from my neck,
skimming down the side of my body, over my lax arm. The tips of his fingers
coasted over mine, and then found their way to my hip. A pumping pulse picked
up in several key points in my body, responding to the light, forbidden touch.
He didn’t speak as his warm breath kissed the curve of my
cheek and I didn’t say or do anything. I could stop him. I knew I could. Or I
could at least try.
I did nothing.
His hand slipped over my stomach, below my navel. I jerked,
bringing us closer. Way too close once more, and I couldn’t breathe as
something bizarre happened inside me. It was like all my senses woke up at
once, sparking with life and flaming heat through my veins.
His hand dropped to the front of my dress, right above where
a deep, deep ache had started. He growled deep in his throat as he said against
the flushed skin of my neck, “Your pulse is racing so fast—too fast for someone
entranced.”
Hell.
Oh hell.
The Prince might not recognize who I was, but he knew I
wasn’t entranced. Fight or flight response kicked in, overriding the confusing
heat pumping through my body.
Two years ago, I would’ve chosen flight. That was all I’d
been capable of. Not anymore. A whole different instinct took over, a newly
developed one. I had no idea why the Prince was here, in the pit of his
enemies, and I wasn’t willing to risk finding out or being caught by him.
Spinning around, I gripped his forearm as I ducked and
twisted, slipping free of his grip. I saw the flicker of surprise on his face
and then I spun back toward him. Still holding onto his arm, I used his weight
as an anchor as I leaned back. Planting my left leg back, I lifted my right and
slammed my knee into his midsection.
The Prince grunted as he let go, but he did not move even an
inch. That kind of kick would’ve brought a human down. Probably would’ve even
knocked a normal fae back several steps, but not an Ancient. He lifted his
chin, eyes narrowed with annoyance.
“That was unnecessarily violent,” he said, straightening to
his full height.
He hadn’t seen unnecessarily violent yet.
I spun, picking up the chair. It was surprisingly heavy.
Grunting, I swung it around, prepared to at least knock him once upside the
head. Wouldn’t kill him, but would definitely give me a chance to escape
without having to answer questions.
The Prince’s speed was mind-numbingly fast.
I didn’t even see him lift a hand. He just suddenly had
ahold of the leg of the chair. He wrenched it from my grip, tossing it aside.
The chair hit the wall with a bang, shattering into three large pieces.
Damn.
What I thought about The Prince
Brighton is on a mission to kill all the Fae that were involved in killing her mother. and she's breaking all kinds of rules stalking the Fae in secret clubs, looking for revenge. She's quite brave and also gets in trouble, and The Prince is usually there to bail her out. She doesn't really trust him, bus she sure is attracted to him.And it seems like he is attracted to her. (oh yeah!)
It's a good thing too, because Brighton is going to need the Prince to get out of her latest jam, but everything changes after he comes to her rescue, leaving both of them with a broken heart. I found myself really loving this -- the emotions hit all the right notes for me.
It's been a while since I've read a paranormal title from Jennifer L. Armentrout, and The Prince reminded me of all I'm missing and left me wanting to read this entire series. The Prince works nicely as a standalone and I think you will want to read the rest of this story when you are done! I did!
There's a wonderful vibe between Brighton and The Prince, and I was really hoping that it was all going to work out for them, somehow, someway. The Prince doesn't really end in a cliffhanger, but it did leave me wanting more of both of these characters.
If you are looking for a good paranormal romance that includes the Fae world, this might be the title for you. It's fast-paced, has plenty of action and the romantic elements made me want more, more, more! That's what I love about the 1001 Dark Nights series -- it give the reader an opportunity to try out the series. The Prince made me want to read more of the Wicked series.
